The auxiliary pilot air must reach a pressure of 3...7 bar as
soon as it is switched on, otherwise the valve cannot be guar
anteed to switch immediately.
If the pressure is less than 3 bar, there may be a delay before
the valve is switched, in spite of anelectrical signal being
present. The slow increase in pressure of the complete supply
does not then affect the actuator. The actuator would react
suddenly (e.g. a cylinder would extend or retract, depending
on the valve function).
